Description
Cutting farm ammonia and nitrous oxide together works better than feared in China, Fangming Jiang and a large team report in 2026. The two gases pull against climate and air-quality goals, and whether policies help both at once or trade one off against the other was unclear.
Pairing detailed emission inventories with policy-by-policy scenarios for 2000 to 2022, the team found that both gases peaked around 2015. They then fell, ammonia by 16% and nitrous oxide by 30% by 2022 in the team's estimates. Fertilizer-reduction policies delivered about 90% of the post-2015 gains, with their joint benefit rising sixfold. Manure and straw policies were weaker and sometimes traded off, though optimized livestock management could flip that sector to synergy. The authors map where policies reinforce each other so future rules can aim there.
